1/2 Marathon Training Day 56 Week 8
  • 1 hr 5 min run @ 9:05 min/mi​
    • 7.05 miles
      • 0.95 miles short
(This was my first off treadmill run. I like off treadmill better, except it's more difficult to keep a steady pace, but I get in the zone more often. So, time goes by quicker.)

1/2 Marathon Training Day 63 Week 9
  • 1 hr 20 min run @ 8:59 min/mi
    • 8.89 miles
      • 1.11 miles short​
Another good run. Felt like my body kicked on autopilot from miles 2 to 8. That, or the fact that I was trail running and it was getting dark. So, I didn't want the bears to get me.

Why am I scared of bears?
  • They can smell fear
  • They can run 30 miles an hour
  • There's a zoo 30 miles from me
So, a bear can be on my doorstep in about an hour.

1/2 Marathon Training Day 65 Week 10
  • 25 min run @ 8:25 min/mi
    • 2.98 miles
      • 0.02 miles short​
Just finished Hogwarts Legacy. I was worried I wouldn't like it since all I know of the Harry Potter world is watching Wizard People Dear Reader (it's on YouTube if you want to watch it. It's basically someone who has no idea anything about Harry Potter was watching the first movie on mute and then explaining to you what is happening), and the last two movies. So my headcanon for Harry Potter is pretty wild. The game takes place hundreds of years before Harry Potter, so I didn't feel lost. So, now I'm onto Spider-Man 2.

I felt good about this run. I kept pace the entire time. Hopefully I can do this for the full 13 miles in four days.

2/22
​
1/2 Marathon
  • 13.1 miles @ 9:37 min/mi​
Now, it's official! I was feeling very cocky at mile 10. Then I hit a hill at mile 11, then it kept going through mile 12 and didn't end until mile 13. I feel a lot better than I did after my first half Marathon. My legs and ankles were killing me, but I was able to walk fine.

2/23 - Recovery day.

My legs and ankles are still sore, but not bad. I don't think I'll do a Marathon anytime soon, but may do another half.

16 weeks to Marathon Day 6 Week 1
  • 25 min jog @ 9:40 min/mi​



Finished Spider-Man 2. Had a lot of sweet sad moments and super fun playing as Venom, even if only for a Level. I think a lot of open world games can learn from this. In just under 40 hours, I've done most all of the collections. And, how can you not love a cat in a Spider-Man mask that helps you by clawing bad guys in the face?
Due to the political climate in the US and because of my desperate need for catharsis, onto Wolfenstien the New Order and shooting Nazis in the face. Which, shouldn't be a bold and controversial political statement, but, unfortunately, is now.
